Franklin Diversified Income Fund

Overview

Summary of Fund Objective

To generate high levels of income and, as a secondary objective, long-term investment growth. The Fund mainly invests in corporate and government bonds and non-agency asset- and mortgage-backed securities (including investment grade collateralised loan obligations up to 20% of the Fund's net assets, collateralised mortgage obligations, residential and commercial mortgage-backed securities, with an aggregate limit of 65% of the Fund's net assets). Investment in agency and non-agency asset- and mortgage-backed securities may represent up to 100% of the Fund's assets. These investments may be from anywhere in the world, including in emerging markets.

Investor Profile

  • Seeks to maximize current income and has a secondary goal of capital appreciation over the long term.
  • Planning to hold their investments for medium to long term.

What Are The Key Risks?

The Fund does not offer any capital guarantee or protection and you may not get back the amount invested.

The Fund is subject to the following risks which are materially relevant:

  • Convertible securities risk: the risk associated with the fact the Fund may invest in convertible securities, which may be low-rated and which may act like either a bond (when the underlying equity value is well below par value for the security) or a stock (when the underlying equity value approaches or exceeds par value).
  • Counterparty risk: the risk of failure of financial institutions or agents (when serving as a counterparty to financial contracts) to perform their obligations, whether due to insolvency, bankruptcy or other causes.
  • Credit risk: the risk of loss arising from default that may occur if an issuer fails to make principal or interest payments when due. This risk is higher if the Fund holds low-rated, sub-investment-grade securities.
  • Debt Securities risk: as interest rates rise debt securities will fall in value. Issuers of debt securities may fail to meet their regular interest and/or capital repayment obligations. All credit instruments therefore have potential for default. Higher yielding securities are more likely to default.
  • Derivative Instruments risk: the risk of loss in an instrument where a small change in the value of the underlying investment may have a larger impact on the value of such instrument. Derivatives may involve additional liquidity, credit and counterparty risks.
  • Distressed Securities risk: Securities are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and principal or maintain other terms of the offer documents over any long period of time. They are generally unsecured and are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposure to adverse economic conditions.
  • Emerging markets risk: the risk related to investing in countries that have less developed political, economic, legal and regulatory systems, and that may be impacted by political/economic instability, lack of liquidity or transparency, or safekeeping issues.
  • Foreign Currency risk: the risk of loss arising from exchange-rate fluctuations or due to exchange control regulations.
  • Market risk: the risk of loss in value of securities traded on markets as prices of securities may be affected by factors such as economic, political, market, and issuer-specific changes.
  • Securitisation risk: investment in securities which generate return from various underlying groups of assets such as mortgages, loans or other assets may bear a greater risk of loss due to possible default of some of the underlying assets.
  • TBA Transaction risk: to be announced transactions (TBAs) are forward-settling mortgage-backed securities trades where the exact securities are unspecified at trade date but must meet defined criteria, exposing investors to market, counterparty, liquidity, and leverage risks. Funds may use TBAs to hedge or sell securities, facing risks of value fluctuations before settlement, including potential losses if security prices change adversely during TBA sale commitments or roll transactions.
